Engine Drop 4/8-9
 
Transmission needs to come out of the red car, VIR this weekend so 4/8 is the next open weekend. Anyone have a atv jack they care to lend? I think I have most tools, although an engine stand adaptor thing would be nice. I am located about 10 minutes north of Annapolis and ~15 minutes from 95 in Severna Park MD. No, we dont bite on this side of the bridge.

I'm not a morning person, but 9am 4/8 it is. Depending on attendence I'll be happy to fire up the grill and provide grub/drinks for all. If anyone is ambious I'll be tackling a few projects, any help is apreciated:

-Install new rotors, service front wheel bearings
-repack cv joints (what lube does everybody use for this?)
-lower drivers seat mounts
-install/fab brake cooling ducts
-open up trans and asses the damage
-new plugs in the engine
-install dizzy vent
-remove heat exchangers and install 993 versions (this is where the engine stand adaptor would come in handy)

*edit*
I really meant to post 4/9, but it looks like there is another drop that day. I'll take off work 4/8 and hopefully get most of the work done. If anyone is available 4/9 that would be great too!

Let me know if you are coming. List your drink of choice and if you want grill food or pizza.

Chris:

You are welcome to my atv jack, pallet, etc. I think that they are at Jim's house . . . . or maybe they are at Richard's place . . . awww hell I'm not sure who has them.

Jim . . . RL . . . ???? little help here.

I have Marc's cinder blocks and 2x10 pieces of wood. I believe RL has the rest.

Chris, April 8 is a Friday. Is that what you're planning? I am free that day and it doesn't take an army to knock it out, so let me know. Also, I'm committed to help littleB (Brian) on Saturday, April 9, with his engine drop.

I can drive down on Friday the 8th to lend a hand.
That's actually my last day at this job, but i'd like a good excuse to leave WAY early! :twisted: :twisted:

Thanks for the sharp eyes guys. That's what I get for staying up late, that old hand eye thing.

I dont want to rain on your parade, so you have the 9th Little B. I'll be home 4/8, and will also be in the garage 4/9 if anyone wants to stop buy.

Jim Richards 03-29-2005 08:29 AM

Chris, I'll come by on Friday, the 8th.

Thanks guys. Jim- Do you have the atv jack/pallet?

Jim Richards 03-29-2005 07:08 PM

RL has it, I believe. I can bring them and a tranny jack, as well as cinder blocks.
